Often times we are not known by who we are and what we do, but rather by the company we keep.

This is yet another reason why I like to hang out here with climbers.
We are all different and have this thing in common.
I especially enjoy climbing with you.

True story - and I'm sorry I didn't think of this sooner. It's been so long.
I did Cathedral Peak in 1980 or 81 with a woman who smashed and irradiated boobs for a living. It was her first roped climb.
True story, that's the God's truth.
It's not a 6 month retrospective but the urge to forcefully insert BOOBS into this thread was just too overwhelming to resist. Like a fairy tale in it's arc of perfection really.

Since I only recently got off the disabled list, I was a little surprised by how diverse a group I've climbed with in the last six months:
one grad student in music composition.
one math teacher.
One MIT-trained engineer who is self-employed as a bus trip organizer.
One photographer.
one radiologist.
One physics lecturer
One dentist.
No other lawyers or economists
No R.N.'s during that time, but I'm married to one and we do much outdoors together.

LOL, Cole!
Great lists everyone - thanks.
This is actually just a troll for interesting jobs that might suit me, but I realized at "Pizza Chef/Chalk Bag Manufacturer" I am wayyy out of my league.
